MINISTRY TO SENIORS

Christian Life Center is looking for volunteers and seniors who need the services of its ministry. The center's primary goal is to reassure and encourage seniors for greater independence, to help them live life to its fullest and avoid loss of independence.

The center is a host site for FoodSource, a monthly food program designed to stretch seniors' food budgets.
